Getting Ready for SHOT 2025!
Michael frantically gets ready for the big show in Vegas, but first has to deliver a mea culpa on the Federal 7mm Backcountry. Plus, restoring an old Siamese Mauser 45-70.
The Podcast Turns 21!
With our opening episode of 2025, the podcast turns 21 years old and can now legally buy liquor…joke! Two critical points this week — we MUST elect an NRA BoD committed to change, and here’s how we do it. Secondly, yes, politics has changed, but the world hasn’t.
Things Are Better, But the Threat Remains!
Michael has some end-of-the-year thoughts on this last podcast of 2024…preparedness continues to be an important element of our new — and hopefully improving — self-defense landscape. An in-between that big dinner and rocking around the Christmas tree, try to get in a little shooting!
Ruger RXM: First Look!
This morning Ruger rolled out their newest entry into the 9mm striker-fired polymer-framed sweepstakes, the RXM, in conjunction with industry giant MagPul. Michael has had one of the new RXMs since Thanksgiving, and here’s a first look!

Big Blue Bull Hunting in Texas!

Long Range Magnum Research?
Michael was so impressed with the Magnum Research SwitchBolt .22 rifle that he's thinking of pushing it out for some long-range rimfire. He also outlines his heartbreaking loss of an auction for an entire "Boot Hill" graveyard!
A Time for Celebration!
Last week’s Trump landslide changed the game for Americans, and Michael is hopeful that the wash of red across the country will “lower the temperature” a bit and give us all some breathing room.
In Praise of Red Chili!
Yes, it’s Election Day, but Michael is taking a week off paranoia, fear and social collapse to talk about his whirlwind "mini-vacation” to Santa Fe, the best red sauce, why a great margarita is a transcendent experience and why driving home through a blizzard sucks. Also, acknowledging a great Swarovski scope!
